Away She Goes: The Girls Who Travel Podcast

For many people, a delayed flight or a crowded airport is no more than an inconvenience. For others, a deviation from the plan may have a profound impact on the entire trip. Join us this week as we sit down with Cheryl, who travels the world as an autistic person. Cheryl shares their lived experience traveling as an autistic person and what that means for them, as well as sharing some of their funniest travel stories, tips, and tricks.

Many of us wonder how we can be more eco-friendly when we travel. What is the environmental impact of flying? What about taking a cruise? In this episode, Sophia and Carli discuss how to be more eco-friendly with your travels, from incorporating a more plant-based diet to traveling close to home, and so much more. Stay tuned for the upcoming release of our Eco/Ethical Travel workbook where we will take a deeper dive into all things eco-friendly!

As you may know, Carli has just returned from our first ever Girls Who Travel trip to Portugal! Carli spent a week in sunny Portugal with other Girls Who Travel members and is here today to talk with Sophia about the highlights of the trip including beaches, sights, port wine, and more!
